Loving of All Breeds
Pet care experience
As with people, I appreciate diversity in dogs and love breeds of all sizes and genetic makeup. I'm respectful, especially of others' homes and family, particularly attuned to specific needs, like with senior dogs who need slower care. A former groomer's assistant, I'm experienced with reading dog body language, recognizing signals of discomfort, aggression, or anxiety. I've been trained on keeping them calm in nerve-wracking situations (like being groomed by total strangers in an unfamiliar loud space). Even after this poopy job, walking dogs still brings me so much joy. Realistically at my size of 115 lbs, the largest breed height-wise I can comfortably handle is a Wheaten Terrier, and weight-wise up to 70 lbs. (Unless we already know your big dog won't run after squirrels and jerk the leash.) I believe in returning things to people in the same--if not better--condition, so your pets and home will be in good care. I'll follow your care instructions to a T, especially with dietary restrictions. I've cared for family pets and friends' pets during their travel, most experienced with a miniature schnauzer, French bulldog, English bulldog, and Pitbull/American Bulldog mixes. Feel free to message me with questions!
Reviews
Anna did a great job checking in on my puppy while I was at work!
Anna is awesome - I would highly recommend her dog sitting services! She was responsible, thoughtful & even sent photos of Stevie when she arrived and then again on her morning walk. I had a lot of changes to my dogs stay and she was super accommodating and flexible. I will definitely use her again!
I needed someone to take care of Max while I was away for a business trip and Anna fit that role very well. She's thoughtful and accommodating; I received updates everyday as to how he was doing. You can tell Anna is very familiar with dog care and it's no wonder that Max took a liking to her so quickly. I will definitely have her care for Max should I need to go away again.

Information Anna Y. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how frequently you walk your furry friend, how frequently they need to go outside to pee, and whether you need me to stay overnight to watch them. Current rabies vaccinations, please.
A typical day
I will send pic updates because I know you'll miss their cute and handsome faces. (: I'll take them on a walk each day, half an hour to an hour. We can discuss extra walking if necessary. I love to play with dogs! If the dog has toys, awesome! If they like walks, awesome! Me too! If they're more low-energy and just like to be cuddled or pet, totally cool! I have experience working alongside animal experts and dog trainers, so I know how to read canine body language. I never do anything aggressive, only asserting commands and encouraging good behavior with positive reinforcement.
